"What about people?" After a while, the old emperor asked tiredly.

"Back to my father, people are still in Chengde."

The old emperor pondered for a few seconds and said, "Bring it back." ”

Bring it back?

Where to bring?

The old emperor didn't say anything, but the second prince, who had always been good at figuring out the holy will, immediately understood what the old emperor meant.

After explaining the matter here, the second prince returned to Chengde non-stop, investigated the matter as a case of human trafficking, and finally found that Yaxing gave up. Because a few of the boys in that group were bought and sold through the tooth shop, the second prince only needed to do a little tricks, and on the grounds that the procedures were incomplete or the process was not formal, the pot would be thrown to the tooth shop.

As for the bloody scene in the secret room, only the people of the second prince knew, and it was easy to hide it, and the two live mouths were secretly sent back to the capital, but they were directly sent to his other courtyard, and the old emperor went to the second prince's courtyard under the banner of caring for his son, and had a dinner.

When he came out again, there were no extra people in the second prince's courtyard.

The second prince knows that the matter on the surface is over, as for whether he wants to continue to investigate secretly, he has to plan well, betray his father and the emperor, and maintain the image of a "good brother".

With the end of this case, the ban on Chengde's side has also been lifted.

And Gu Jinzhen and Qiao Yixi were not in a hurry to go back, the group went around the suburbs, hunted game, ate barbecue, and rested for another night before going on the road.

Qiao Yixi returned to Gu Mansion, and Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu came back with Yi Ge'er.

After dinner, as expected, Gu Jingshu called her into the house.

Qiao Yixi pouted depressedly.

Gu Jingshu looked at her funny, "Why, you don't want to talk to your mother so much?" ”

"The daughter is naturally willing, and very willing, but it depends on what she says." Qiao Yixi said arrogantly.

Gu Jingshu shook her head, "Okay, my mother is serious with you, have you thought about the matter with Gu Jinzhen clearly?" ”

"Nope." Qiao Yixi shook her head decisively.

Gu Jingshu understood.

The circle in which her daughter has lived since she was a child is simple, and she originally had the idea of choosing her daughter as a son-in-law, so she did not communicate with her daughter in this regard, let alone teach her. And in the fourth room, Xue Tao wished that their long house would decline, but he really wanted to take Qiao Qiao to see each other, and it was also some crooked melons and cracked dates, how could there be anything good.

So when Qiao Yixi said "no", Gu Jingshu said, my daughter is so simple.

"Mother and your father are also thinking about this matter these days, aside from anything else, just talking about Gu Jinzhen, mother and your father like it, he can see that he really likes you, and his mother can also see that he really likes it, and besides, the family style of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion can also be trusted, and what my mother and your father are most worried about is where the old emperor is."

I don't know who influenced it, Qiao Lixi's family's name for the saint, well, is very casual.

"That's the only reason we hesitate." Gu Jingshu added: "A few days ago, Mrs. Lu came to Zhuangzi for a special trip. ”

"Personally?"

Gu Jingshu nodded, "You also know the movements of the Feng family, so Old Lady Lu made a special trip." Originally, our idea was to let the two of you look at each other, if you have feelings, then let it be, if you can't run in, we don't force it. But the Feng clan suddenly came to such a moment, and Mrs. Lu let go out, she wanted to show Gu Jinzhen in person. However, this can only hold the Feng family for a while, if she really makes the Dingguo Marquis Mansion make a decision, can Old Madam Lu still let people retreat? In the past few days, although the Feng family respects the old lady on the surface and has not made any big moves, she has already let the eldest grandmother go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion behind her back, in order to show her prudence and the difference between her and Gu Jinzhen, the old lady guessed that the Feng family probably wanted to find the old emperor to marry. ”

"Marriage?" Qiao Yixi smiled, Gu Jinzhen is neither a prince nor a princess, why did the old emperor give him a marriage?

However, she understood Feng's intentions.

If the old emperor gave him a marriage, no matter how Mrs. Lu stopped her, Gu Jinzhen's family affairs could not be changed, and she could not even be reconciled!

"The old lady is not worried about the old emperor's side, after all, it is not easy to persuade him to give him marriage, just with Gu Jinzhen's identity, this matter will be very tricky, the old emperor has to weigh the situation in the court, think of a way to control Gu Jinzhen, and get the Shen family's army. The things in the court, my mother didn't understand, but Mrs. Lu repeatedly assured her mother that you and Gu Jinzhen were safe, and Mrs. Lu came to ask for marriage, and she said again and again, not because of the Feng family's action, but because she sincerely came to the door to marry, but there was no action from the Feng family's side, and she was also ready to make a special trip at this time. Okay, these mothers won't talk about it, my mother called you here, just to ask you what you mean, if you haven't thought about it yet, then think about it carefully, my mother doesn't urge you, just let you have a psychological construction, take this matter to heart. “

What Gu Jingshu said later, Qiao Yixi didn't remember a word, returned to his room in a daze, called back the astragalus, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

For Gu Jinzhen, she has never thought about her feelings, she can only say that she doesn't hate it.

At first, the two of them were because of a misunderstanding, Gu Jinzhen was endlessly devoted to her, at that time she was protected by Mrs. Lu and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and she scoffed at Gu Jinzhen's childish behavior, although Gu Jinzhen chased after her, she really didn't kill her, she didn't know what Gu Jinzhen was hesitating about, anyway, she didn't have anything to lose, but when she learned that Gu Jinzhen did all this to protect Qiao San, she tasted it.

Why is it delicious?

Qiao Lixi thought about it very seriously.

It's just that Gu Jinzhen is blind and maintains a white lotus, she feels bored.

Later, Gu Jinzhen learned that she had repaid the wrong person and tried her best to be good to her, she felt that it didn't matter.

She is not the deity, whether Gu Jinzhen makes things difficult for her because of a misunderstanding, or because the truth defends her, she stubbornly thinks that these have nothing to do with her, that is the cause and effect of the deity, and she is just an outsider.

Yes, for so long, even if she is wearing the shell of "Qiao Lixi", she has separated herself from the deity, and she is still very clear.

is good to Qiao Xingbang, good to Gu Jingshu, and good to the Gu family, but because they were good to her first, she was grateful to them, so she was good to them, and it had nothing to do with family affection, she always put herself in the position of an outsider.

Even if Gu Jinzhen came to her room in the middle of the night and seriously proposed the marriage proposal, she just listened to it as a joke, it was just an adolescent teenager's affection for the opposite sex, and she never seriously thought about what her future would be.

Tonight, after listening to Gu Jingshu's words, she was a little confused.

If nothing else, she will die here, whether she wants to or not, it is involved in very complicated things, and the involvement between her and Gu Jinzhen is the most complicated.

In her heart, she doesn't hate Gu Jinzhen, if she likes it......

Because she has preconceived notions, and because she has always treated herself as an outsider, she only regards Gu Jinzhen as a partner and an ally, Gu Jinzhen is for the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and she is for the long house.

But when you think about it, it seems that there is more to it than that.

Gu Jinzhen's thoughts, she understands, but what about her own mind?

After thinking about it all night, the next day Qiao Yixi went to Gu Jingshu's room with a pair of panda eyes.

Gu Jingshu shook her head when she saw her appearance, "You kid, I knew that my mother wouldn't tell you so much, and I didn't sleep all night, right?" ”

Qiao Yixi scratched her head, "Mother, I'm a mediocre person who disturbs myself, and it has nothing to do with what you said." ”

"Okay, Qiaoqiao, you just need to remember one thing, there is a father in everything, you just need to live happily, and we don't have to be Gu Jinzhen."

Qiao Yixi also knew that she had drilled the horns of the bull, so with Qiao Xingbang's words, she would no longer worry about this matter.

After the meal, the porter said that Wei Nanshui was here.

Qiao Lixi paused with a teacup of water.

Since she left Wei Nanshui with Gu Jinzhen, she hasn't paid much attention to Wei Nanshui's movements, and when she corresponded with Gu Jinzhen, she occasionally mentioned Wei Nanshui's situation, knowing that Wei Nanshui had been investigating his mother's affairs, and according to Gu Jinzhen's guess, Wei Nanshui's identity was not low.

Qiao Lixi also guessed this.

It's just that she didn't want to be involved too much, she originally thought that the intersection with Wei Nanshui would end here, but she didn't expect him to take the initiative to come to the door.

"Jojo!" Familiar sounds.

Qiao Lixi followed the voice and looked at it, it was a young figure.

It's not much different from what I remember, and the bottom of my eyes is still pure, but my face is a little more mature that doesn't match my age.

"Aren't you out there?" Qiao Yixi said "outside" refers to the field.

Wei Nanshui took two steps forward and stood closer, the familiar mint smell made him sniffle, "I just came back yesterday, when you came to the capital before, I received the news, because I have been outside, so I only came here today." ”

"All things are taken care of?"

Wei Nanshui nodded, "Everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and the rest is left to fate." ”

"That's ......," Qiao Yixi shook her head amusedly, "You have made such careful arrangements, and you are still resigned to fate?" ”

Wei Nanshui smiled, "I'm just a little confused. ”

Qiao Yixi sighed, "You're not ready yet." Let me ask you, if you were to give up now, would you give up? ”

"No!" Wei Nanshui shook his head categorically.

Qiao Yixi smiled, "That's it, at least you're sure of this, what else are you confused?" ”

Wei Nanshui's matter, Qiao Lixi probably knows a little, but who it is, it will be a little unacceptable for a while. Wei Nanshui did not retaliate against the society because of this, which shows that the child is not crooked.

"Do you know about my cooperation with Gu Jinzhen?"

Seeing Qiao Yixi nodding, Wei Nanshui pouted, "He will tell you everything." ”

The tone is quite savory.

"I don't have a good relationship with Qiaoqiao, why can't I say it?" Gu Jinzhen's unhappy voice came from outside the house, and everyone was shocked when did this guy come?
